Shoppers take to the stores on Black Friday in Metro Detroit
COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Gone are the days of crowded lines outside big box stores. Instead, holiday shoppers are hunting for the best online and in-store bargains.
"Black Friday has changed from a doorbuster, gotta get in the building at 6 a.m., camping outside to more of a, 'Hey, we're going to come in and see what's going on.' We've actually transitioned at Meijer to a Thursday doorbuster versus a Friday like the normal competitors have," said Mike Otlewski, store director at Meijer Commerce Township.
From electronics and home appliances to hot ticket items, including 70-inch televisions priced nearly half off and much more, Meijer in Commerce Township is dishing out the deals for shoppers.
Some families say Black Friday shopping is a tradition they look forward to every year.
"It's a mad search through the ads. This year, I was trying to find things online. It was a little harder. So mad search, planning. We usually have a map and schedule (laughs). We go a little crazy," said Misty Cushman, a holiday shopper.
Meijer says Saturday is the last day for shoppers to snag the store's Black Friday deals.
